I would be more inclined to create a us...@nuttx.apache.org or something like that, if your idea is to have a discussion forum for users between them (instead of users with maintainers + maintainers to maintainers which is the current use of dev@). But if you want to keep googlegroups for this purpose for now it is OK too. In that case, could we do the following two simple items: * modify the header which appears on the google groups page at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nuttx which looks like this: So that it includes a notice like "this is not the official discussion list for NuttX" and points users to dev@ for that. * add/modify welcome message to indicate something similar This way we are sure users seek contact with maintainers in the appropriate place and maintainers do not have to monitor that list as well for bug reports, etc. Best, Matias
